  Arjuna
  
     <language> An object-oriented programming system developed
     by a team led by Professor Santosh Shrivastava at the
     University of Newcastle, implemented entirely in C++.
     Arjuna provides a set of tools for the construction of
     fault-tolerant distributed applications.  It exploits
     features found in most object-oriented languages (such as
     inheritance) and only requires a limited set of system
     capabilities commonly found in conventional operating systems
     .  Arjuna provides the programmer with classes that
     implement atomic transactions, object level recovery,
     concurrency control and persistence.  The system is
     portable, modular and flexible; the system software has been
     available via FTP since 1992.
